Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Neural networks can be regarded as a system of simultaneous equations. Reasoning with it is to solve the simultaneous equations (constraint satisfaction). Considering it as a constraint satisfaction problem, multiple neural networks can be linked by sharing units (variables). In order for the simultaneous equations to be solved, the variables and the number of equations must be aligned. This can be done by deriving the equations of the neural network from the energy minimization principle, in which the energy function should be a loss function. Then, to minimize that energy function, a numerical solution method is used. State-of-the-art results in inference and learning using numerical solution methods have been achieved, for example, in the Deep Equilibrium Model.
